MAGAZINE! FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS 2020 has been a year of uncertainty and change for Canadians. COVID-19 has altered nearly all aspects of life, from the ways we work, learn, and play to how we shop, socialize, and where and how we travel. We continue to face challenges around social distancing and isolation, staying connected with loved ones, job security, and working from home—all while possibly juggling (and even homeschooling) children. Despite—or because of—these challenges, we’ve been given the opportunity to consider and possibly realign our priorities. Families are seeking new ways to find fulfillment, connection, and purpose from the comfort and safety of home. For us at Asmodee, board games are an engaging way to have fun, create memories, and resonate with people of all ages. Our articles on family games, party games, and games for kids will walk you through some of our most popular options. Beyond their fun factor, games also immerse us in other worlds, with their often-beautiful imagery, as you’ll see in our article on art in games. In Growth Through Games, we outline exciting research on board games used as teaching tools that provide emotional, cognitive, and social benefits. Board games have the potential to enrich our lives in many ways, and our hope is that they provide Canadians a little respite as we navigate an ambiguous world.

  • Physical Vs Digital Tabletop Games
    Physical vs Digital Tabletop Games Andreas Larsson Jonas Ekblad Main field: Computer Science ​ Program: Game Development ​ Bachelor thesis 15 credits Spring 2020 Supervisor: José Maria Font Fernandez ​ Examiner: Alberto Enrique Alvarez Uribe ​ Final seminar: 1 June 2020 ​ 1 Physical vs Digital Tabletop Games Abstract This paper shows the difference in User Experience between Physical and Digital tabletop games. The goal of the project is to get an understanding of how and why playing tabletop games differentiates depending on the platform. Seven tabletop games have been chosen from different genres with an official digital adaptation. We’ve measured four key factors, Usability, Aesthetics, Social Connectivity and Engagement. The key factors have been used to gather User Experience metrics that were used to compare the digital and physical versions of the tabletop games. The result from this thesis is that physical tabletop games have a higher rating than the digital versions in all key factors except in usability where the differences were miniscule. Games that rely on imperfect information offer a much higher social connectivity and engagement when it’s played around a table. Games relying on tile-placement offers a higher usability and engagement when played digitally due to the assistance provided by the game. Physical tabletop games are the preferred option of the two but the accessibility of the digital versions makes them remain relevant. 1. Introduction Tabletop games have been around for thousands of years [1] and are now at their peak [2]. Games like Talisman, Magic: The Gathering and other popular titles are showing up on the digital platform.
